How the West Was Won (1962)


Kentucky Flintlock Rifle

Linus Rawlings (Jimmy Stewart), the beaver felt trader and "mountain man", carries a Kentucky Flintlock Rifle when he is seen riding his horse while among the Native Americans before meeting up with the Prescott family in present-day Ohio in 1839. Colin Harvey (Mark Allen) takes his father Alec's flintlock rifle when Linus first arrives at their camp. "Colonel" Jeb Hawkins' band of river pirates also carry flintlock rifles when they accost the Prescotts and Harveys. During the 1850s sequence, men riding in the wagon train west to California fire flintlock rifles at the attacking Cheyenne Indians. Some of the Indians seen during the 1860s railroad sequence also carry flintlock rifles, including one that fires at Zeb Rawlings.

unidentified revolver

Cleve Van Valen (Gregory Peck), a St. Louis gambler, tries to gamble during the wagon trip to California by betting a "fine London-made pistol". When the Cheyennes attack, Cleve sticks the revolver in his belt. However, when he draws it, it appears to be a much larger handgun (perhaps a Colt 1851 Navy based on the shape).

Springfield 1861

The Union soldiers during the Civil War battles seen between 1862 and 1865 carry Springfield 1861 rifles. Zeb Rawlings (George Peppard) has one as well, but it broke during an April 1862 battle, leaving only his bayonet as a useful combat weapon.

Colt 1851 Navy

A young Confederate soldier, "The Reb" (Russ Tamblyn), shows Zeb a Colt 1851 Navy that he took from a dead officer and uses to try and shoot General Grant (Harry Morgan) and General Sherman (John Wayne). This is also possibly the revolver used by Cleve (Gregory Peck) to shoot a couple Cheyennes.
